Three lovers spin in a vortex of pent-up desire and resentment in director Ira Sachs’ honest and acerbically funny take on messy, modern relationships. Just like its dynamic leads, Franz Rogowski (New York Film Critics Circle winner for Best Actor), Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Ben Whishaw, Passages is a refreshingly fluid relationship drama that oozes sex appeal.
A thoughtful examination of a complicated love triangle that is reminiscent of the kind of erotic cinema we don’t often see anymore, Passages is “ushering in a new era of queer storytelling” according to the Hollywood Reporter, features the perfect wardrobe “for destroying your relationship,” and was influenced by everything from Barbara Stanwyck to Rosemary’s Baby. See the Sundance sensation this Friday at IU Cinema!
“A superior film of sensitivity and intelligence with a lot to say about infidelity, love, sex, bisexuality, and monogamy in the troubled chaos of today’s mottled emotional landscape. My advice is seek it out wherever you can find it and learn something.” — Rex Reed, The Observer
Passages will be playing at IU Cinema on February 23 at 10pm as part of the Q+ series.
